I'm sure I will run into someone from Anaconda while in Reno. BTW, I see you are at the Nugget which is where our 65 and 70 teams will be. I'm sure I'll run into you at one of the venues! |

| May 24, 2014 DoubleL10 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: IVAN DENNIS PASSES For those who may not know Ivan Dennis by name, he played 50 and 55 Major Plus for years with Randy Hendricks' teams. He also played with our 60 Major Texas Heat team occasionally last year. As Frankie said, Ivan was a man of few words but his bat spoke volumes! |

Jim was an intense competitor who gave his best all the time. AND a true gentleman on and off the field. |

| Oct. 4, 2013 DoubleL10 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas Fields and Umpires Finished up Session #2 at Sunset Park yesterday. Nothing but good things to say about the umpiring - pitch height was well controlled unlike at Shadow Rock last Friday. Other than that, I agree with the other comments about the fields and facilities at Sunset Park. Excellent Major Plus players had a very difficult time fielding balls on those infields. Bad hops were routine. I'm sure there are several hematomas as a result. A little water between games to tamp down the dust would have been welcome. Hopefully, after the construction is done, Sunset Park will be a first-rate facility. |
| Oct. 1, 2013 DoubleL10 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas Fields and Umpires Update: session #2 at Sunset Park. Both days so far the umping has been relatively controversy-free. No one complained to excess about the height limit. Anyone want to share positive or negative experiences so far? |
| Sept. 29, 2013 DoubleL10 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Las Vegas Fields and Umpires Just wondering how you guys feel about the facilities and umpires provided to handle 480 teams in Las Vegas? I' m wondering if we have reached the point of diminishing returns using sub-par fields and umpires who either are not knowledgeable about height rules in senior softball or simply do not care. Case-in-point, Sunset Park where I watched 60 M+ today; no orange safety bag and very hard infields. Games are being played in the early morning where the sun is very much a factor as well as after dark when most of us 60+ players will admit we don't see very well. The umpiring I saw there was pretty good; however, at Shadow Mountain yesterday and Friday, there were a couple of umps who were not calling 15' pitches illegal! Furthermore, one umpire even told both complaining teams in one game I watched that " both pitcher have been pitching illegal all game, so I don't want to hear it!" I have heard many things in my 50+ years of playing this great game but that took the cake. These same two umps also had attitude problems making it appear to me that they thought they were more important than the game. Does anyone else have experiences to share? |
| Sept. 10, 2013 DoubleL10 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: New HOF inductions I agree with Steve's comments 100%! I have enjoyed playing with both this year! I will certainly be at the induction ceremony. |
| Aug. 30, 2013 DoubleL10 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Hotels in Vegas I believe all the "Station" hotels charge a $14.95 per day "resort" fee for stuff most softball players don't use. Last time I stayed at Palace Station that was the case. |
| Aug. 27, 2013 DoubleL10 | Topic: Tournaments Discussion: Fields JamesLG, As FOFO said Shadow Rock is way out. It is not too far from the hotels along Boulder Highway - less than 10 miles from the Eastside Cannery. The place feels to me like you are in the middle of the desert it is relatively remote and the surroundings are stark. Parking is also a problem - there is not much of it. I will be playing 60 Major there as well. Good luck and hope to get a chance to meet a fellow board member. Larry Lopez #10 Texas Heat. |
